I have zero idea why that type of discovery would be sad.

Dang it, Now I have to buy some Cable lifters for my "Cable Bacteria"

When will this madness end~~!

I have zero idea why that type of discovery would be sad.

The discovery itself is good, but yet another species exploited by homosapiens is sad to me.

Well, bacteria are exploiting us all the time.

Well, bacteria are exploiting us all the time.

Without bacteria we simply wouldn't exist, and we owe our existence to them. People think they're too important.

I read a Sci-Fi story once where there were beings that fed on electricity, they could repair things, or mess them up just as easily. (called something like the 'Ploians' - most likely in an 'E.E. Doc Smith' story - not sure).

This is ultimately a fascinating tool that could potentially be synthesized.

A question was asked......

I have zero idea why that type of discovery would be sad.

For which an answer was given......

The discovery itself is good, but yet another species exploited by homosapiens is sad to me.

The follow on back & forth exchanges (Four posts) regarding this question added nothing to the thread, , , and were eliminated.


And this is a very fair assessment of this discovery;

This is ultimately a fascinating tool that could potentially be synthesized.

I wonder what it eats.

OG OLED was this discovery 10 yrs ago.

You mean "watt" it eats.
